working men in television. you are here in afternoon. >> saturday and sunday. schedule is influx because the president is speaking this weekend. we'll cover it. >> busy one. thank you, good to have you here. >> my pleasure, america lives begins right now. >> we begin with a fox news alert out of our nation's capitol. the house passed a measure to keep the government cut running while cutting obama care. it would strip all funding and setting up a bitter show down. bill is likely to die. >> the american people don't want the government shutdown and they don't want obama care.

(applause) >> the house has listened to the american people and now it is time for the united states senate to listen to them as well. >> meanwhile, one of the most renowned medical research facility cited obama care as one of the reasons for major changes. they have to cut 330 million from the budget. this is the region's largest employer with 44,000 employees. the facility has not had lay offs for several years and planned to offer early retirement for throw hundred workers. and still, when asked about obama care costing jobs, white

house press secretary jay carney said there is no data to support that. >> what does the president have to say to americans who may lose their jobs due to the implementation of obama care? >> i have not seen specifics on that report. i can say there is no data that bears out the assertion that the economy is losing jobs because of the implementation of the affordable care act. >> they are live in cleveland, what are they saying? >> well, aliceon, the ceo is not in sync. health care reform does nothing to reduce the cost of providing health care, yet the hospitals will get less from medicare and medicaid and private insurance. they have to slash the budget and this trend will continue across the nation. >> this is something that is going on all over the country and every ceo and hospital that

i talk to is talking about doing the same thing. >> dr. krosgrove said they are taking every step they can. leaving vacant jobs open and approached 3,000 employees and urging early retirement. and ultimately they will learn they are losing their jobs, it is just too early to say how many. >> thank you so much for setting up that background for us. the cleveland clinic is hardly alone. many are changing their health care plans. home depo is ending coverage for part- time employees and that affects 20,000 people. talk about what is going on here by bringing in chris stierwald and host of power play on fox news.comlive. chris. >> hi, ally. >> we had plans to have the

president of the cleveland clinic on to talk about the changes and two hours ago he cancelled on us. and now you and i are going to have to figure out what the cleveland clinic is doing without being able to ask him. >> who regulates the hospitals and health care proifrds department of of health and human services? no, no way. we have seen in the past people who spoke out about this faced encouragement from the administration to make sure they are giving americans a more balanced point of vow and there are problems other than the president's health law and it is only one problem leak the cleveland clinic. i have no idea why the ceo would opt to cancel the interview, but certainly, i would think that ka thlean sebilluous who is in

kansas pumping up for the law and is happy that he is not doing. >> before he cancelled the interview, he said we are not blaming the white house, the cost- cutting is comprehensive and obama care is just one part and that is probably true. medical costs have gone up everywhere and that's what the president talked about why obama care was necessary, but the problem is, costs are not going down as a result. >> here's the thing. if you reduce the president's argument and he used the cleveland clinic as the kind of care he wanted to bring to more americans. remember it took him a year in 2009 and ended in 2010 to close the deal even though the democrats were in complete control of washington. he said we should do what the cleveland clinic does with high- tech and patient care. it turns out though, in order for the president to bring

health care, that he said will be better for more americans in care like the cleveland clinic. that the cleveland clinic will not be able to keep doing what it does. lower reimbursement rates and less payment on medicaid and medicare treatment and less money coming back as part of the medicare cuts, that causes serious disruption. >> here is the latest fox news polls on how americans are feeling today about obama care. you can so which would be better for obama care. return to the old system in 2009 system or keep the new law. and today 54 percent would rather to return to the old system than implement the now system. >> that is not to say that people thought it was great in 2009. they thought it was serious problems but you are just

getting started and scratching the surface of this. you know what happens in the final quarter of the year. it is open enrollment and make changes and things like this start to happen like you described in home depo. there will be a steady drum boat. month of november is the big moment for these things, that's when the employers will change the health insurance and that is a head of the january 1st change. republicans may not be able to defund the president's law. harry reid may stop them and the president may stop them. there is something to be said for getting another marker out there and they tried everything that they can possibly think of to cope the law from going in place. that may actually advantage them going into 2014. >> yes, it would be provided -- not the little details.

>> and we wish that dr. toby krosgrove would have come on to explain what the cleveland clinic is thinking. the statement they put out is confusing. what the cleveland clinic told fox this week to prepare for health care reform cleveland clinic is changing the way it delivers service to patients. they can't even get their message straight. it is because of health care reform and off camera toby cosgrove said they are not blaming the white house. >> remember what sebillous did in raising money and recruiting more money for the health and insurance benefit. she was working with the people she regulated. she got in trouble with republicans in congress. she was calling to raise money from insurance companies that she regulates and they say you can't raise money from people you regulate.

they will feel compeled to pay or send checks if the person that has authority over them is anding them to do stuff. people regulated by the administration have felt obliged to do things to make the law look better. >> we don't know if that is the case. we hope dr. toby cosgrove will come on and clarify things. >> thank you so much. >> you can get the latest on obama care and spending battle on the daily fox first note. e-mail and click the sign up button. don't miss out. well, stunning new development in the washington navy yard shooting. the company that allowed edward now den to gain security clerrance did the background check on aaron alexis and one

senator is calling for a top to bottom overhaul of that vetting system. it sounds like this is needed, molly? >> certainly the democratic senator mcclas kill thinks so. she wants to know how aaron alexis who was arrested on gun charges in 2004 and 2010 and arrested for disorderly conduct in 2009 how they can get and keep security chlorrance. she wants answers with the office office of emergency management. she asked if his arrest showed up. we know that u.s. investigation services a private company based in virginia that does 45 percent of the government's background checks did one for the navy yard shooter in 2007. a usis spokes person said we are

contractually prohibited for gathering case information. and we are unable to comment on the nature of this or any other background check. opm reviewed the information and passes it along to the relevant government department. in this case the pept gone since alexis was a navy reservist. opm said the involvement in the matter related to the aaron alexis ended when we submitted the case to the department of defense for adjudication. dod did not ask opm for additional vfktive actions after it received the completed background investigation. fox reached out to the pept gone for a response. senator mccaskle said alexis is the guilty one. but the loved ones of those

>> here is a story that is developing now. the obama administration announcing new air rules and that could kill the coal industry and lose jobs and cause electricity rates to sky rocket. hi, doug. >> this is the regulation that environmentist awaits and require all future power plants to emitonly len hundred pounds of carbon dioxide per megawatt hour. this is the signal of the death nel. the agency said did not. >> now power plants can min myself the common emissions by taking advantage of available modern technology. >> and that modern technology she references is only used on

a trial basis with government subsidaries. the carbon capture and store is not feasible and would bankrupt and price it out of the marketplace. opponents of the legislation is livid. it is mitch mcconnell who writes. the president's decision is escalation of the war on coal and what that means for kentucky families is the war on jobs and kentucky econme. i will foil a resolution to insure the vote to stop the devastating epa rule. others point out if all coal fire plants were to shut down it would be a neglibly affect on the co2 emissions. >> this would reduce the co2 levils 2- 10ths of one percent by ridding all coal fire

generating power in the united states. action precedes the expected release of the latest united nations report and locked drafts show a lull in surface temperature increases for the last 15 years. >> we want to talk more about those leaked drafts and what they say. thank you, doug. so for more on this controversy, we'll bripg in allen colb and la rs larson. thank you gentlemen for being here. >> you bet. nclimate change research is complicated and contradictory. but we'll wade to the head lone of the year. six year assessment done by the un council on combloebl warming and climate change was leaked and released, and shoes that the dire prediction and global

warming did not live up to the predictions and some scientist have urged the un to change that narrative and sit on that research because it didn't turn out to be as dire. >> they shouldn't sit on the research. say that four times fast and see how you do. you know, because the issue is a lot more to the story, and they should be full with the information and explain why the research shed why it shows. climate research start with a year that is high. it is not a typical year. germany came forth and said you can't judge it based on 14 years. you have to look at trends over a longer period of time. the full report shoes that there is warming and it is caused by the humans being on the planet. >> but allen, you make a great point, when scientist sort of

appear to be fiddling with the research and suppressing it, it makes everyone question all of the science. >> they shouldn't suppress and be full and explain it, and if they do properly, it is an issue and exist and is real and there are qualifiers to the particular study. >>ulars, what do you make of them changing the narratives and complicating the matter. >> it is not complicated. they made up computer models and said this is what will happen. the computer models are flawed. they did not bear out and the current results show that computer models were wrong. we have had a dramatic increase in co2 in ten years. 2,000 & 2010 there was a 2,000 percent increase and we didn't see the warming that the flawed models. projected.

we are trying to bankrupt the united states and coal business the country runs on energy. we have an abundant sploi of it in the continental united states and we have new technology for being able to generate electric power from coal. and a third of the country's energy and electricity comes from coal generated camps. yet the president said if you built a now fired coal plant would be bankrupted. we have played the tape and now the agencies are doing it without the approval of congress because the congress will not pass. it he will have our agencies bankrupt the coal business and have his surro gate go out and say it will not bankrupt the coal business. >>ulars makes a good point. should we crack down on the coal industry at the same time. >> not the entire control.

the president talked about certain kind of coal that you can use. coal is needed going forward. but we have to transition to new energy. coal is not the future of the country? >> why not, al . why not allen. it is a good fuel. >> i can't answer if you keep talkingulars. what is best for the voirment is renewable energy and that is cleanest and best and ultimately when it is wind solar. >> it is expensive energy. >> it is not expensive as more peoplous it and new technology come in play and more widely sdrnted manufacturer. >> it doesn't compete with coal. >>ulars, let me tell you something with what the un just are leased the average land and ocean temperatures across the globe have increased one degrees far ep heit. that doesn't sound like a lot

but environmentalist said it raises the sea levels. and the ocean temperature is warmest on record this year than it has been that they have recorded. do we need to turn ourselves attention to some of the things that allen is talking about. >> go back to the data. in ten years we saw a 25 percent increase in co2 and not the corresponding increase in temperature that was projected by the models. allen said the other injuries are great. the problem is they are expensive when compareed to coal and nuclear. the as a result energy costs go up. everybody out there watching works in a job where you have to use electric energy. if youous it and it gets more expensive. two things can happen. one the job is shipped overseas or two, the jobs go away. the americans should realize the import of the policys of the

administration. without the representatives sign off on it and it will be done by the president's agency and push jobs out. >> thank you for trying to make sense. >> allen, god bless you in your confusion. >> and god bless you in your snashgy comment back. >> we have breaking developments out of syria, the assad regime is handing over the list of chemical weapons for you. and gun authority men opened fire in a chicago park injuring 13 people including a three-year-old by critically this just days after fbi named chicago the murder capitol of america. >> it was 20 shots and walked over here and police got here real fast.

>> this story is sickening. there was a lot of blood shed. and 13 of them wounded and one of them a three-year-old by. and obviously, he was not in a gang. people are caught in the cross fire in chicago. and chicago is now the murder capitol of the u.s. what is chicago doing wrong. it is doing a couple of things wrong. one is when raum emmanuel pecame mayor he cut the police force and moved a round the police in the city. people who were on beats 10-15 years and you gain information in the area and you know who your confidential informants are and different problems occur. you move people around and you lose information. and he cut back and eliminated gang units that are there. you mentioned it was a gang shooting and seems to have all of the calling cards of a gang

shooting that is there and not too surprising when you have cuts. you have increases in crime and more gangs. >> and the new york city, obviously the biggest city in the country, their murder rate went down 19 percent. what is new york doing that other cities should follow? >> you know, the surprising thing, the new police chief from chicago is from new york. you would think he is doing the policies. but politics have judged in and tied his hand. and new york has done a lot of things. large size police force and stop and frisk may help. and they are much more aggressive and haven't had the cut backs. irony in chicago, they have cut backs to save money and now this

year, they are paying for overtime to try to make up for that. and they have spent the overtime budget by may. and it is going to end up costing them more total than if they haven't made the cuts. >> the vast majority of all murders and new york city is from gunfire. more guns and less crime. explain that. >> if you allow law- a boyding citizens to defend themselves you can deter criminals with higher arrest and conviction rates. most of the violent crime is drug gang related. three percent of the counties in the united states account for cent percent of the murders even though they only account for 23 percent of the population. look at chicago, dc or new york

or philadelphia. it is not spread out over the cities. they are heavily concentrated in tiny areas and that is drug activity. the drug gang activity and prices of drugs and profits they can make in different areas and the highest murder rate in the united states by most estimates was 1932. and that was the last year of prohibition. the murder rate fell sko 60 percent. and so, it is something that we experienced in the country's history. >> we have got to be able to get our arms around this so that three-year-olds are safe to go to the park. >> i agree. >> thank you john lott. >> the president of iran is heading to the u.s. to the united nations and he wrote after learning that he and

shuttering the nuclear facilities. this is a signaturor of the nonnuclear treat. and despite the violations of the treaty they have a right to pursure a civilian program. it doesn't mean reling quishing our rights. mastering the atomic fuel sickle is about diversifying the energy resources as it is about who the iranians is for a nation. western nations believe that iran is trying to build a nuclear bomb and aiming at compelling the regime to suspend the enrichment. the americans offer starkly diverse assessments. how can we decipher what they are saying and decision making. >>e stood up to the iranians in 1988 and they pulled back. when we don't stand up to them

they press o. >> the history with the iranians, they look at our moves and signals in ways and never imagined or intended. >> if president obama and president rehani meet on the sidelines in the un general assembly next year it would be the first such meeting since known 79. >> thank you very much. great to see you. >> and raw emotions are running high on capitol hill in the benghazi hearings, relatives of two americans killed in the american terror attack gave gripping testimony. more than a year later no one was arrested for the raid that killed four americans including ambassador stephens and no one has been held accountable. mother of shawn smith is pleading for answers. she said the obama administration promised to give her answers. >> i was told a few things and they were all lies.

obama, and hillary, and panetta, and biden and susan, all came to me in the casket ceremony, everyone of them dpaf me a hug and i asked them what happened? please tell me and everyone of them said it was the video. we all know it was not a voochltine at that time it was not a video. they all lied to me, but what they said was, i will check up on it and get back to you for sure. you know how many times i heard from them? none. i don't count. people of america don't count. only thing that counts is their own selves and their own job and it is people that are involved in this, get suspended for a short time and paid the whole time and then rehired or whatever it is that they do.

i want to know what happened to my son. why can't these people tell me this? >> congressman, thank you for being here. >> thank you, allison. >> it is heart breaking to hear pat smith who has the frustration of a mother and lot was unfinished business of what happened with her son. i know you are trying to find information also. what did you learn new this week from the hearings that you held? >> he is inspiring to me. you wake up in the morning and you figure out what it is that you are doing in washington and to hear the testimony and breaks your heart and inspiring you. the hearing that we had the panelist before you and i felt it was an important step and we learned a little bit and it didn't answer the fundmental question. that review was not conclusive and indepth.

you have to question the independence given the fact that hillary clinton's own chief of staff, person by her side was intrically involved. >> you called patrick kennedy to testify under secretary for management. he said that everyone of the security request that game cross his desk was answered and fulfilled. let me play that moment from the hearing for you. >> i will be glad to submit for the record a list of security enhancements that we put in benghazi. increasing the wall and barbed wire and cam kras and drop arm barriers to make sure bomb- laden vehicles could not crash in the building. >> it sounds thorough. before the attack what more could they have done? >> they could have done a lot more. it is 13 months and they still

haven't sent the list. you can hear the testimony from gregory hicks and you talk to cornell wood who was the military lison. they were asking for more personnel. they got less. that facility was bogged in june. they asked for more security and never got. it >> when former secretary of state hillary clinton testified in congress. she said the specific request pertainingly to benghazi were handled by the department. i didn't see those requests. they didn't come to me. i didn't approve them or deny them. what more would you expect former secretary of state hillary clinton to say. >> she takes full responsibility. it is libya.

after the ref lougz on 9/11 and after two bombings and after the british had been in assassination attempt. how could the secretary of state not been personally involved? what in the world was she doing. the accountability review board, she hand picked them. they found 29 systemic problems and challenges in the department of state in 60 days. how can they find 29 problems and she couldn't find in four b and thousand fz employees. there is a lot of questions still. >> now the hearings wrapped up this week and what is your next step? >> we have to find the people that perpetrated this. the terrorist were never held accountable. we never killed or captured anybody. first and foremost, we want to hear from the witnesses that were on the ground. we never heard from a witness. and if you want to get to the truth talk to the eyewitness.

state department and white house themselves continue to blockade us. >> but can you call the witnesses? will you call them and try to get them in front of your panel? >> yes, chairman issa issued two new subpeona the, excuse me. i think we will get them at some point. >> congressman, thank you for taking time for talkingitous. ncleveland clinic held up asa an example of what the obama care can do. announcing major budget cuts and also video of a school bus driver texting while driving with a bus full of kids. we'll tell you how much trouble the driver is in now and a moving reunion touched by a higher calling. a woman trapped in a car crash meets the priest that never left

a school bus driver in florida suspended after video surfaces of her apparently texting while behind the wheel. the bus was packed with students and a 14-year-old student is said to have shot this on her cell phone. the driver drifting into the other lane of traffic and turning the wheel just in time. florida one of the states that does not have a law on the books

making it for drivers to text. maybe they will now. there are late breaking developments on the crisis in syria. the regime handing over a list of it's chemical weapons. no details yet on what is in that inventory. lieutenant colonel michael kay is a officer in the british royal air force. >> thank you for being here. there are reports that the assad government may be interested in the cease fire now? >> that is what we heard from the deputy prime minister. if we look at the context of military cease fire. non state actors will use military activity to create political discourse.

the free syrian army, is to k p keep -- at bay. they have it so you've got the fsa, the regime who are trying to stay in power and then you've got america with the threat of military strikes in terms of deterring assad from using chemical weapons again. you can see how complicated a cease fire discussion would be. for me, the question is defining success for the two conventions what does it actually look like? >> it has been two years 100,000 victims in syria. why now? why this week? we might be interested in a cease fire. i think dare i say it, he have had to come down this journey

for all of the actors to have a bit of a realization moment. i think from the way i'm analyzing the situation which over outcome we have. whether it be keeping assad in power. we have to work out how they work out with the council. if the other option is keeping assad in power. there is going to be implosion of violence with the al qaeda afillatifiliat affiliates. >> you think that the cease fire will see more violence. that it is not a real cease fire. that you predict that something else will explode. >> whether the fsa and the national council come to power i think we are still looking at an

implosion of violence. the afiaffiliate in al qaeda, ty are beginning strength at the moment. the west has to work three or four steps ahead. >> of course it hasn't seemed as though the united states has been three or four steps ahead of a chess game. however, is it reasonable to say, that because president obama and the united states have recently threatened military action and put syria on the map do you think that forced his hand and now he is willing to talk about the cease fire. >> personally, i think the threat of military action is actually more persuasive than

military action itself. i have never signed on to it. i have never been quite clear to that. military activity is a blunt instrument. you go into regain ground and crush the will of a dictator. you don't go into punish him and give him a second chance. >> all right. great to get your hin siginsigh. >> the agency charged with caring for our veterans under fire. we'll look at the problems plaguing the va. and her near daeadly crash caugt the nation's attention because of a so called angel protection who seemed to appear out of nowhere and pray with her. >> god intervened because there

police reported seeing a mysterious priest praying for her at the scene before vani vanishing trace is live with us from los angeles. >> it is a great friday follow up. this was a father dowling mystery. this was father patrick dowling. remember this? he baffled police when he showed up behind a police line where 19-year-old katie lense was hit by an alleged drunk driver. her vital signs were failing. she told first responders to operate pray out loud with her. and then came the mystery priest

that came and prayed with her and then seemed to disappear. here he was at the time. >> you do it. you do it. you offer your services. as a priest because you have the power to forgive sins and the power to anoint the sick. >> now for her 20th birthday there is going to be a reunion between katie and father dowling. her mom saying she is very nervous. indeed he was. the family has started a website. it is called roadsi roadsidemiracle.com. they are raising money for the first responders. and maybe some money for the church as well. the meeting happens at 4:00

central time. maybe on monday we'll give you insight on how the reunion went. >> if he can be caught on camera. even in the pictures he was missing from some of them and people thought that he didn't exist. but it is great that he did. >> 77, crime scene photos were taken accident scene photos were taken and he wasn't in one of them. that is incredible. thank you so much. >> okay. >> well, communities across the country are fighting to keep control of their local schools as the costs of new regulations are sky rocketing. plus we told you about new problems at the clinic that ser served at the heart of health

care reform. >> i'm going to be visiting your home town tomorrow to go to the cleveland clinic to show why their system works so well.

you

. the department of veteran's affairs is socelebrating what i claims is a back log in claims. paying out tens of thousands of dollars of bonuses for va managers. chafrm chairman of the house committee called for an investigation. >> i don't think he understands that you reward people for poor performance. >> he was the first of five confirmed cases of legionairre's

disease. >> why wouldn't you fix it? you got away with it with my dad. how did you not fix it. well understanding now that it was all about bonuses and a presidential award. there it is. it boils all down to money. >> after the deadly disease outbreak in pittsburgh, va regional director collected a $63,000 bonus. that was paid out to va officials who oversaw highs in claims and serious instances in diseases. and more than 1800 veteran patients of the st. louis center may have been exposed to hiv and hepatitis equipment.

yet they received more than $25,000 in bonuses during their four year tenure there. >> what a terrible record that you highlighted for us. thank you. >> part of what we want to do is free doctors, patients, hospitals to make decisions based on what is best for patient care. that is the whole idea behind mayo and the cleveland clinic. i'm going to be visiting your home town tomorrow to go to the cleveland clinic to show why their system works so well. part of the reason it works well is because they have set up a system where patient care is not a concern. those are changes that i think the american people want to see. >> that was president obama back

in 2009 pointing to the cleveland clinic as a shining example for his health care reform. but the clinic is now slashing their budget and saying that obamacare is partly to blame. he told us we are not blaming the white house for the changing and obamacare is just one part. still, joe, this is not the kind of pr that obamacare rolls out on the first the. >> there are a lot of things going on here.

one of them is that the republican legislature in ohio voted against an expansion in medicaid. under obamacare. people who showed up in emergency rooms all of those bills would get passed onto the rest of us, they were supposed to be covered in obama care with an expansion in medicaid. but the legislature voted not to do that. and so now a lot of these hospitals have no idea whether they are going to get reimbursed or not. how are they going to make up that money. but in this case it was caused by instead of collaborating and trying to make it work, they refuse to do that. >> david, joe makes a great point. health care costs were spiraling

out-of-control. doctors were having to make changes, but the timing of this is unfortunate that the cleveland clinic, this is the example of how we should be handling medicine in the future is saying that it has to slash it's budge it by so much. one of the rolls was to reduce the cost. this is the sort of thing that would not happen. what we are seeing it doesn't seem to be addressing the cost the way that the president thought it would. it wasn't going to solve health care the way that the president thought. this is what i call a whack a mole problem. that major problem crops up. walgreen's deciding that it is going to put in all of these

changes. this is going to be a process that will be painful but will though why this bill was pushed through. >> let me read to you a statement, they said to prepare for health care reform, the cleveland clinic is changeing te way care is delivered to patients. enhancing quality to make way to health care affordable to patients. joe, did the white house and the president sort of underestimate the problems that we are going to see leading up to the roll out of obama care? >> absolutely. anytime you change the size,

there are going to be problems and you have to work where way through them. the problem here i agree with david. it is going to go on for a while and it is going to be hard for the white house in terms of the whack a mole. that is going to happen. on the other hand, all of these problems and medicare d being a great example of this. medicare d seniors hated it only 21% of the country had a favorable opinion of it after it was fully implemented no one will tough it now. so this is going to have problems it was going to have them. i don't think the white house it is not so much under estimated it. i don't think they fully understand the opposition that was going to be out. let me show you how americans

are feeling about it. how concerned are you it asks about your health care. 43% say they are concerned 14% say not very and 17% say not at all. what should the white house be saying to the american people to allay their fears about this roll out? >> what you point to is the crux here. people are getting concerned about the quality of their health care. there is the sense that perhaps they are not going to have access to the doctor they had before. i think what the white house has to deal with and i don't think it is in the position to do is to say the promises made can be kept. the other problem now is you have the economic dynamic of it. you are talking about 3,000 jobs

that were eliminated. think about that. the white house has got it's hands full. i don't know what advice that i can give to it. >> they have bitten off a lot. we'll see what happens on that day as well. >> thank you so much for your insight. >> good to be with you. >> still ahead a brewing fight over control of our nation's public schools. we'll look at the backlash over the standards. plus what a croc. more on some unwanted guests plaguing one city after a dangerous storm there. wisest kid in the whole world?

...this. crocodiles roaming the streets. the croc sent folks running before it was finally caught and tied up. severe flooding has left at least 80 people dead and thousands of tourists trapped in popular resort towns. a fight is crewing for what some say is control of the classroom. the program is called common core state standards and it is in effect in 45 states and washington, d.c. there are concerns that it will take control away from the community and carry a huge price tag. bob, great to see you. >> let's talk about this district in tennessee. they have had to borrow $5.2 million to buy new ipads and

laptops for the kids because of common core? >> fifth of all, i saw the lead into the common croc tease i thought that was for me. really truly if states wanted -- said let's decide what to teach at what grade i wouldn't have a problem with that. but that said, there are a lot of thing that is are attributed to common core that aren't. >> can you define common core for us? >> there are the common core standards which are in agreement of what to teach at what grade. >> shakshakesspear should be introduced in the 9th grade. and then there tests being developed by the separate

state consortia. the development of tests and the fear that will back drive crim you lum. the tests or assessments are another thing. parents fear that teachers are going to teach to the tests. here is what the city in tennessee what the school district adviser said the reason we have to buy these is to prepare our children for future entry into the workforce and assessments for the tests and for their jobs 15 years from now. there are things that are attributed to common core that aren't part of it. they are doing it. every five-year-old needs to be carrying an ipad. every second grader needs a

laptop. it is not part of common core. >> every single one of them or just in a classroom. i hope they are not buying it for every single kindergartener. >> they are saying can't five yee year olds aren't flash cards okay? >> can you imagine the dropping of these on the ground and the drinks being spilled on them 67it is not part of common core that you have to buy them for kids. >> one of the men on city council. he has a funny retort to their request. he said i don't think we should buy a car for every student in driver's ed. >> it is a long tradition to

find excuses in education to spend money on all kinds of things. it is based on contractors getting work who are friends of the superintendant or the school board and things that are not necessary. many districts are using the common core issue to say our hands are tied. maybe somebody i'm not saying this is true. but this district somebody might be the computer salesman in the local town. these kinds of things happen. bob, thank you so much for explaining it. a major league pitcher steps up to the plate. the jon lester and how he is helping kids fight cancer. ome fiber! with new phillips' fiber good gummies. they're fruity delicious! just two gummies have 4 grams of fiber! to help support gularity! i want some...

cancer foundation. with perceived emphasis on adult-related cancer, he thought it was time to focus in another area. >> i fought and beat cancer. now it's time to fight for the kids. >> and lester is doing just that. at home or on he road, he meets a children and parents fighting pediatric cancer. >> was it hard? yes, was hard, but it was -- i think it helps you later. once it's over, nothing else holds you down. it's hard for you? it's easy for you, right? you're strong? yeah? good. >> on this night, the red sox ace wrote his name on his glove next to hi son's name and feels these are part of his able gages to give -- obligation to give back. >> some guys want to be role models and other guys just want to be a baseball player or

basketball player or whatever. they don't want that responsibility. i think in the position that we're in, i feel like you don't real where have that choice. >> this season lester leads the reds in wins, also just helped them make the playoffs, and he has met with kids who have cancer in eight different major league cities. allison, refreshing to see a great role model. >> what a touching story. thanks so much. >> we'll be right back. okay, listen up! i'm re-workin' the menu. mayo? corn dogs? you are so outta here! aah!
